(Whats The Story) Morning Glory? Album Cover Analysis

"(Whats The Story) Morning Glory?" is the second studio album from Oasis and went on to become one of the biggest selling albums in the UK of all time. The front and back cover feature snapshots taken in Berwick Street in London with men walking down. The faces of the men are not clearly visible to the audience, creating a monotone and mystique atmosphere. The album captures day to day life as such, connoting the bands background and disproving connotations of superiority. The name of the band is displayed in the bottom right hand corner marking their name out to the audience and branding the cover. A long shot is used for both the front and back cover of the album with the mans back to the camera walking down the street creating the iconic synergy which is well known to a generation shaped by this album. Additionally, the font of the title and the track list match creating further synergy across the album. The cover is also symbolic to the city life with industrial buildings as well as streets and clubs along with the night life. This simplistic album cover is massively affective and gives imagery to the amazing tracks features on this album. Simplicity is amazingly effective.
